12 Days of Christmas

Short and sweet tonight because I haven’t found the bandwidth to do any writing this week. I’ve been in the kitchen a lot, making a variety of delicious things, and I think all my creative energy is going there. We have also been full-steam ahead with homeschool tasks, knowing that around the time of our baby’s arrival, we will slow down for a time, so for now, we need to keep moving forward. There is a lot of Christmas music happening, and earlier today the middle child in this week’s photo was singing (a more rare occurrence for him) and trying to remember the words to the 12 days of Christmas. He has a lot of them down, but every time he gets to the end of a cycle, you hear, “And a present in a bear (bare?) tree…” I haven’t the heart to correct him.
